Abstract:
The time from first symptom to diagnosis of Cushing's syndrome is considered relevant for the severity of phenotype at presentation and long-term outcome. We therefore performed a systematic literature search to investigate relevant factors associated with a short time to diagnosis. The meta-analysis of 45 studies with 5560 patients showed significant differences for adrenal Cushing’s syndrome, Cushing’s disease and the ectopic Cushing’s syndrome. We did not find difference for gender, age or time of publication.
